I'm an international automotive graduate student with 2 years of prior experience as a manufacturing engineer at an OEM. My career path took a small detour when I ventured to the US to pursue my graduate program, where I specialized in manufacturing and materials. I am currently part of a student internship program with the university, where we design, validate, and develop a concept vehicle from scratch, and I serve as the Lead Body Structure/Design Engineer. It's been great so far, but I am about to graduate this August, and I've started to look for jobs in OEMs in the US. I haven't been super consistent with my applications, but I made a little draft resume, and I figured I'll start from here. I am primarily looking for Mechanical Design roles, preferably in the chassis department.
The visa situation is kinda messy right now, and it's harder for international students to get a job in the US. But with that being said, any tips or advice on my resume would be greatly appreciated, and also a few tips on how to make it better and more cohesive to crack interviews. Thank you for your time!
